Thomas Carlyle wrote both On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History (1841) and The History of the French Revolution (1837). These are two of his most famous works, and they are both considered to be classics of English literature.
On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History is a series of lectures that Carlyle gave in 1840.
In the lectures, he argues that heroes are essential to society and that they play a vital role in shaping history.
He also identifies six different types of heroes: the prophet, the poet, the priest, the man of letters, the king, and the captain.
The History of the French Revolution is a three-volume account of the French Revolution. Carlyle was deeply fascinated by the Revolution, and he saw it as a turning point in human history. He writes about the Revolution in a vivid and dramatic style, and he offers his own unique perspective on its events and its causes.
Both of these works are highly readable and thought-provoking. They offer insights into Carlyle's own political and philosophical beliefs, and they continue to be relevant to readers today.
